some claim we ought to go easy on the murdoch news corporation so we don't appear partisan, but just giving money to the republican party, hiring republican presidential candidates, slamming the news and commentary should not give them a pass for questionable, perhaps illegal, conduct. we must ensure that americans are not abused by the news corp management practices or employees. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from texas rise? >> i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute and to revise and extend. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentleman from texas is recognized for one minute. mr. johnson: thank you, mr. chairman. the president wants congress to raise the debt ceiling without corresponding plan to cut spending and balance a budget and insist raising taxes as the only way forward. the reality is that doing so amounts to a barack obama bailout for his out-of-control spending that got us here in the first place. a bailout for his $1 trillion obamacare, a bailout for the failed stimulus, a bailout for government motors, a
